Snake Pass is a unique game, I don't think there is any other game where you have to carefully manage your long body and use its slithering capabilities to navigate a course and for that I will give it its flowers. The controls and technique does take a hot minute to get used to before things click and the game actually starts feeling doable, but that learning curve is definitely something. It's hard and frustrating and sometimes unforgiving at first, but once that click happened it felt like the rest of the game was a breeze. And yes, it is a unique game in its mechanics, but who was asking for something like this? I had fun and I'll give it some credit, but I'm ultimately glad it's over.
I went in with the expectation it would feel like a 3D game of snake, but it's not that. However it's a very interesting 3D platformer that's traversal if not aesthetic, is fun. I don't care for much of the collectathon elements, and it has a wide range of difficulty, but it's a pretty good idea that was executed fairly well.
